Our first session on a Sunday I think.

As always, the session began at the gates of the legendary Castle Torrog in the Edion mountain range. The party could see a tiny speck of a structure close to the foothills below.
They descended to a crossroad at the edge of the foothills. Just beyond the crossroads, the party spied the ruined old tower with a goblin lookout on the roof.

The party decided to leave the old tower well alone and followed the southern road. They continue south past the Serpent Shrine they cleared out previous until they encounter another crossroads.

The way west leads close to the forest and they way east into the foothill. The party decided to go west.

A way along the track on the outskirts of some ruins, they were suddenly attacked by a band of goblins.

The party managed to defeat the goblins without too much trouble and decided to progress onwards. They realised that they are on the edge of some old ruined village.
Wisely, the party sent forward someone quiet (Pel) to reconnoiter and Pel discovered that there was a goblin settlement in these ruins. Pel spotted 10 or so goblins relaxing around a campfire close to what might have been village square in times past.

After some discussion, the party decided to attempt the stealthy approach and incredibly, it worked - for the most part anyway. Everyone managed to make successful stealth rolls - except Tarkus.

So with Tarkus distracting the goblins, the rest of the party managed to have round of surprise attacks.
This proved most useful as in the following round, more goblins burst out of the dilapidated buildings and run to attack.

Among this 2nd wave of goblins is the 'Goblin-Boss' who is their captain and as you can imagine bigger and badder than the average goblin. The fight continues, the goblin-boss has a special ability that allows him to throw minions in front of damaging attacks. This forces Shamos to use up his most powerful attacks. Eventually the party are victorious - even though there are a couple of shaky moments.

After this the party explored the ruins and found an old village half swallowed by the great forest. They discovered a couple of hidden caches of money and some rotted old documentation.

After this they left old ruins behind and returned to the crossroad. The party the decided to head east. The east trailer led them up and into the Edion foothills with the mountain range looming beyond.

The trail wound its way up to some abandoned old buildings and past that, a quarry.
The party peered down noticed that the quarry was populated with giant spiders. They watched a little longer and noticed that along the northern face of the quarry was a large amount of webbing and a large crack (also covered in webbing). They also noticed that the webbing contained various items, too far away and too thickly covered in webbing to identify.

So the decision was made to advance into the quarry. Unsurprisingly, upon the party entering the territory of the giant spiders, caused them to attack.
Luckily for the party, the giant spiders were mostly on the far side of the quarry and the party managed to thin their numbers considerably before they closed. Apart from webbing up a party member a couple of times, the giant spiders were quite ineffective.

Once the quarry was cleared of giant spiders, the party searched the webbing. They found coins and a handful unusual objects. After this the party deliberated going through the giant crack. They theorized that the webbing would continue on the other side of the crack and would alert any other giant spiders of their presence.

In the end, the party decided to return to Castle Torrog with their current haul. The journey back was uneventful.
